White Clay Creek Presbyterian Church has been ministering to the people of Newark, Delaware for more than 285 years.  Worship services began in 1721 at the Old Meeting House on Polly Drummond Hill, about one mile north of the present church site.

In 1752, a church building was constructed on the present site.  That building stood for 103 years.  It was replaced by the present structure in 1855 which was modified in 1996 with the addition of a front addition housing an elevator for easy access to the second floor Sanctuary.

The Nurture Building was erected in 1961 and expanded in 1992 to accommodate the activities of the growing congregation.  The first and second floors provide space for WCCPC's Sunday Church School, Pastoral and staff offices, the nursery, and the library.  Fellowship Halls and kitchen facilities are located on the lower level.

Improvements continue to enhance our worship experience and expand our service to the Lord, Jesus Christ.  Exciting renovations in 2005 provided a special place for our youth to meet ( "The Roxbury"), and a new sound system for the sanctuary.

WCCPC is a growing, vibrant church of over 500 members that will continue bringing the hope of the gospel to our members, our community and a world in need.  We offer a variety of programs to promote spiritual growth, making friends, and serving the community.
